For some reason, Difford likes to use Vida for their mezcal based last word variations. I personally would use something a little more worthy. Doesn't have to be expensive, but Vida is sort of one dimensional.
Solid drink. We particularly love a version of this that also calls for 2 dashes of Ms. Better’s Green Strawberry Mah-Kwan bitters (when the recipe is made with 1 oz of each or the ingredients rather than 3/4). I believe it's called the Last Wall in that form.
